#Side Story Episode 3
“Yes. Actor Han Bin. His manager carried him in, but it’s strangely quiet here.”
I don’t know where or how seriously he’s hurting, but Seoul is full of hospitals everywhere, so why did he specifically come here?
“Thank you. Nurse Im didn’t see me, okay?”
“You want to go in? That’s not allowed.”
What do you mean not allowed?
Kang Hyeok smiled and stepped into the emergency room.
Da-som was nowhere to be seen among the busily moving medical staff.
Since Han Bin came, she should be jumping around with excitement, so where did she go?
She’s not directly treating Han Bin, is she?
As Kang Hyeok walked toward the station, Nurse Im, who was on night duty, saw him and jumped up from her seat.
“Professor, you came to see Da-som, right? Oh my goodness…”
“Where is she?”
When Kang Hyeok asked in a low voice, Nurse Im pointed to a bed far from the station.
So she was over there with Han Bin.
With the curtains tightly drawn, no less.
“Professor Ma is in the treatment room right now, and the other doctors are seeing patients, so Da-som had to go in.”
She probably rushed over saying something about getting residence rights in his left ventricle.
From inside the curtain came the intermittent sounds of a man screaming about his stomach pain and Da-som’s voice conducting the examination.
Da-som, now in her second year, was quite skilled at seeing patients unlike her first year, but it was questionable whether she could handle her favorite actor Han Bin without panicking.
Kang Hyeok leaned against the station, crossing his arms loosely while staring at the curtained bed.
If he hadn’t been drinking, he would have put on a gown and rushed over immediately, but he decided to just watch.
The first-year resident wasn’t even on his radar.
Han Bin, saved in Da-som’s pink tablet with his photo, was undeniably a formidable rival.
***
Meanwhile, Da-som tried to stay calm while watching Han Bin writhing in pain, clutching his stomach in front of her.
Of all times, Professor Ma had gone into the treatment room, and she was the only one available to examine Han Bin.
It was quite ironic to feel the reward of being a doctor at a moment like this, but now that the moment to directly examine her favorite had come, her hands were trembling.
Don’t get excited.
Taking deep breaths to calm herself, Da-som laid Han Bin flat and began palpation.
She put on gloves and pressed from the epigastrium down to the lower abdomen, but there was no particular area of pain.
He was just screaming that his stomach hurt.
“How about here?”
When she pressed on his flank area suspiciously and asked, Han Bin’s face turned pale.
“Ugh, it hurts. My side and back feel like they’re being torn apart.”
“Let me check your vitals.”
The nurse handed over the chart.
BP (blood pressure) 140/90, PR (pulse) 92, BT (body temperature) 36.5℃, SpO2 (oxygen saturation) 98% – all vital signs were within normal range.
“Have you been urinating properly?”
“Ah, no. It hasn’t been coming out smoothly.”
Watching Han Bin answer with a slightly flushed face, Da-som nodded.
Based on the symptoms, kidney stones were suspected.
“Any nausea or vomiting symptoms?”
“I feel nauseous and like I might throw up. Is it appendicitis by any chance?”
“No. We’ll need to run tests, but it doesn’t seem like appendicitis. Since the pain is too severe, I’ll give you an injection first. Please wait a moment.”
“Ugh, yes.”
Kidney stones, one of the three major pains, are said to be terrible enough that those who haven’t experienced them can’t understand.
Da-som first had the nurse administer painkillers, then quickly instructed the intern.
“Bring the portable (X-ray) for abdominal imaging and let’s do an ultrasound examination.”
“Understood.”
Da-som left the bed and walked to the station to write additional prescriptions.
“What’s wrong with Han Bin that he came here?”
Eun Hyeok approached and grabbed Da-som’s arm, asking.
“Looks like urinary stone (kidney stones).”
“Damn, that guy is at the station right now. He’s got viper eyes and the signs don’t look good. Run away. I’ll see Han Bin.”
“The Professor came?”
When Da-som brightened up and peered toward the station, Eun Hyeok looked at her as if this wasn’t the time for that.
“If he drank, he should have gone home and slept peacefully. I don’t know why he came. When patients flood in, it’ll all be that guy’s fault.”
“He came to see me. Why else would he come? First, let me put this down.”
With a beaming smile on her lips, Da-som hurried toward the station.
“Could she be any happier?”
Eun Hyeok’s tongue-clicking voice could be heard from behind.
Yes, I’m happy indeed.
Kang Hyeok, who was sitting inside the station, only lifted his eyes to look at Da-som.
Da-som was newly amazed by her husband’s beauty and her eyes sparkled.
Her heart began to pound in a different way than when she saw Han Bin.
Kang Hyeok, who left the dinner early, must have come here with the sole intention of seeing her.
“Professor, I’ll notify you.”
Her cheeks naturally flushed.
She felt sorry for Han Bin, who was probably going through hell with kidney stones, but what could she do?
Just looking at him made her this happy.
It seemed like it was really time to let Han Bin go now.
Kang Hyeok, looking arrogantly aloof, nodded slightly with his arms crossed.
His slightly disheveled tie couldn’t look any sexier.
“32-year-old male presenting with flank pain, CVA tenderness, nausea, and vomiting symptoms. Vitals are normal, and based on the above pain, urinary stone (kidney stones) is suspected.”
“Tests.”
His particularly low voice echoed through the station.
“I’m planning to do abdominal X-ray imaging and ultrasound examination right now.”
Kang Hyeok slightly raised his eyebrows and gestured while looking over Da-som’s shoulder.
Wondering what was happening, she turned around to see Eun Hyeok approaching hesitantly.
“Tae Eun Hyeok.”
“…Yes.”
“Go take the abdominal X-ray and do the sono (ultrasound) examination.”
As soon as Kang Hyeok finished speaking, Eun Hyeok rushed to the bed where Han Bin was.
“As soon as the test results come out, if it’s confirmed to be kidney stones, give him 1 ampule of Buscopan IV injection. Also run a urine test.”
“Understood.”
Da-som opened the chart and began entering prescriptions. She knew he deliberately sent Eun Hyeok but pretended not to notice.
She could clearly see what her husband was feeling right now.
Whenever Han Bin appeared on TV, he would glare at him like he was looking at an enemy, so how could she not know?
“I’m just going to check the test results and then go in.”
Kang Hyeok stared intently at Da-som’s face and whispered in a low voice.
“I’ll also go in early tomorrow.”
When Da-som smiled and answered, Kang Hyeok’s eyes narrowed.
Seeing his furrowed brow as if that wasn’t the answer he wanted made her keep laughing.
Should she have asked him to wait in the research lab?
She finished entering the electronic chart and waited for the results.
“Oh, the X-ray results are out.”
When Da-som held out the electronic chart so Kang Hyeok could see it, he got up from his seat and stared at the monitor.
“It’s kidney stones. Put in a consult to urology.”
“Yes.”
Kang Hyeok’s jet-black eyes roamed hotly across Da-som’s face.
“Alright, I’ll step out.”
“Understood.”
His words about stepping out meant he wanted her to come find him once she finished handling things.
Da-som watched Kang Hyeok’s retreating figure as he left the station with slow but precise steps, then quickly put in a consult to the Urology Department.
The urology resident, who usually dragged his feet when called, came down at the speed of light.
Han Bin was now out of her hands and transferred to another doctor.
She noticed Han Bin’s eyes briefly linger on Da-som’s neck before looking away.
She thought Han Bin was quite something to notice that even while in severe pain.
Da-som told Eun Hyeok she was stepping out and rushed toward the Emergency Room entrance.
